24 unanswered points, shut down the opposition. Defense was awesome. The running game was great to watch. Brady was truly a seasoned field general who made the right calls, including running for a 1st down. The coaches keyed in on going after the Dolphins QB all half long and harassed the heck out of him. This is a happy fan.

After the idiotic offensive coaching last week, this week was great. 37 running plays to 22 passes. Gained 152 yards on the ground, which started opening up passing lanes, especially for Dobson.

For the life of me, I don't understand how Ridley is on the bench for basically the entire first half? He should be in for 2/3 of the snaps, and Bolden for the rest. If they give it Blount near the goal line again...waste of a down.

I couldn't agree more. I am just glad they handed him the ball in the second half. But he should have 20-25 carries.

I don't completely understand this either. Blount was good late in the game when they were just protecting the ball and running down the clock. Bolden has been iffy. I think Belichick still must not be comfortable with Ridley's ability to protect the ball. That, or maybe Ridley's knee is still bothering him and they're limiting his snaps.

They NEED to commit to the run more often. Ridley needs to be on the field more. Brady is throwing a pick a game lately, so the ball security is nonsense. Though I agree it's part of the thinking against him by the coaching staff. He needs to be on the field. Period.

Rumor is Ridley and Ryan were benched for disciplinary reasons from over celebration from last week.

That is what I had read also. What a joke! Logan apologized and paid a fine, get over it. Just as silly as benching someone for making foot remarks.

TFB, where did you read this?

I believe Boomer said it during the 1/2 time show.

I missed that. Very strange. Well, BB has a system that he seems to impose without regard to the outcome so you have to respect that, I suppose. We need Ridley pretty badly this year to carry the ball ~20 times a game so hopefully all will be resolved soon. Blount is not a primary back and Bolden isn't the same runner. Ridley is pretty special.

I get confused between them so I don't know if I am commenting on Blount or Bolden, or maybe both. From what I saw, when he/they had the ball he/they were indicisive as to where to run and what is more, he (I don't know which one) seemed to be as slow as molasses. What a change once Ridley was in there. Funny thing was I said to my wife and friends "Where is Ridley?" and then on the very next play his name was mentioned.

This second half comeback was great but it was NOT Brady doing a comeback. This was a total team effort in the comeback. Brady was, at best, a good QB in the comeback. Once again, in yet another game, he has simply not been "Brady". I saw a number of misfires, including throwing behind the receivers and into triple coverages. That INT should have been a back-shoulder throw so that only Gronk would have been able to receive it. He did do a very uncharacteristic scramble for a first down, and it was a very nice TD pass to Dobson. On the whole, though, he has only been a little better than average [NFL] QB this season (except for one drive against NO). Certainly not the HOF QB we have come to love and expect.

We were also lucky, for once, with the ref's call. It sure looked to me like he was trying to grab the ball and not swat it away. Oh, well, maybe that makes up a little for that horrible call last week that cost us the game. Without that one, and had we gone on to win, we would have been 7-1 with the Jets at 3-5 and the division would have been basically locked up. I'll take 6-2, though with two game lead.

Unfortunately, even with all the gritty play, with all the injuries I don't hold out great hopes for a super bowl. Then again, after that horrendous first half I didn't hold out much hope for winning yesterday's game. Hopefully I will be wrong again.

Thats BB being smart and benching his best player for some sort of discipline. I think he has been in the doghouse since his 1st fumble. You can tell because everytime he scores, he seems to be saying something. Just like the Wes benching in the playoffs, I thought it was a dumb move that almost cost us the game. We sputtered through the 1st quarter with Blount as our lead back and the minute Ridley came in, our offense started clicking. I was hoping Ridley was hurt, but when I saw him come out AFTER 2 brutal series with Blount and one ok with Bolden, I was p/o'd....like W T F , calm ur ego down for a bit and lets try and win a game.

KuDOs for the 1st successfull half time adjustment I saw all Year! BLITZ!!!! The Dolphins gave up more sacks than us going in....Glad they finally realized the way to beat them. Great game by Logan!

The Center called him out!!! and he still came in untouched!

Btw,. anybody get a chance to see some OTHER Qbs with their full compliment of weapons from last year?? Guys like Matty Ryan?? Eli, Matt Schaub!? All these guys HAD their same weapons and have played much Worse than Brady! We should welcome the competition within the division cuz its gonna make us better down the stretch. Beat these Bum Steelers, get some rest and regroup. Scrap the Bummy Plays and start stringing some W's. Denver may be in trouble!

Been a long time since this team made a great 2nd half adjustment..was great to see it today. The D did not give up today....they get the game ball.

Actually, the way I saw it was that the DL stunk all day, especially in the first half. It got no penetration and was gashed repeatedly by Miami running backs. The second half was a different story because we finally blitzed, got sacks (6) and hurried Tannehill into throwing two picks. I guess I'd give the game ball to whoever changed the strategy from "bend don't break" to putting some heat on the QB.
